Rick Gerard Oct 8, 2013 6:01 AM (in response to SeanPercy42)Default spatial interpretation is changed. Check your preferences.

SeanPercy42 Oct 8, 2013 6:14 AM (in response to Rick Gerard)That didn't fix it, any other ideas?

3. Re: Motion path handles disappeared
Rick Gerard Oct 8, 2013 6:22 AM (in response to SeanPercy42)If you changed the preferences you need to set some new keyframes for it to show up.
Select a motion path with 3 keyframes. Press the G key to bring up path editing tools. Hold down the alt/option key to bring up the convert vertex tool and click and drag on a motion keyframe in the comp window.
If that doesn't work show us a screenshot with all properties revealed on the problematic layer.
This is AE 101 keyframing technique.

4. Re: Motion path handles disappeared
SeanPercy42 Oct 8, 2013 10:10 AM (in response to Rick Gerard)That worked, although it's a few extra steps that I shouldn't have to take (and haven't prior to this). I held down alt by mistake at first and it only gave me one handle, but if I just tap alt and then click--->drag away from the point, it does provide me with a handle in each direction, which is what I was ultimately needing. Here is a screenshot of that layer although it's pretty standard.
When I selected a keyframe that was in between the beginning and end of the motion path, pressed G, and then hit alt it does exactly what I want it to, but usually it adds the handles automatically, and want it to always. This extra step is very annoying because I'm dealing with a lot of motion paths and plan to in the future as well.

Dave LaRonde Oct 8, 2013 10:46 AM (in response to SeanPercy42)I'm not in front of my AE machine at the moment, but I believe that if you right-click on a keyframe, you can change the default SPATIAL interpolation to Bezier.
If it isn't there, you can always do a search in AE Help on the topic of keyframe interpolation and it will show up.

Rick Gerard Oct 8, 2013 2:14 PM (in response to SeanPercy42)Set spatial interpretation to Bezzier and your behavior will return for new keyframes. Ones already created will have to be modified as explained.
